What to Expect
Your First Session,
Start to Finish.
Nothing is booked before a clinician has examined you and confirmed shockwave therapy is the right treatment for your injury.
A Consultation First
Your first visit starts with a consultation so we understand your pain, injury or condition — and can tell you whether shockwave therapy is the right fit before anything is scheduled.
10 to 15 Minutes
Gel goes on the painful area so the sound waves travel properly, then a handheld device delivers them to the tissue. The treatment itself takes 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the area.
Soreness, Not Downtime
You may feel mild soreness or tenderness over the treated area for a few hours. There is no recovery period — most people go straight back to normal activity the same day.
Usually 3 to 6 Sessions
Most conditions take more than one visit. The majority of patients notice a meaningful improvement after three to six sessions, depending on severity and how the body responds.
